Missing irrational. Could you modify the diagonalization procedure so that the missing real you produce is a rational number? How could you modify the diagonalization argument so that the missing real number you produce is an irrational number? (Hint: Using the construction in this section, each digit of M is a 2 or a 4. Modify the construction so the 10th place, the 1000th place, and so on, are either a 3 or a 5, whereas the rest are 2 and 4’s. Why will such a number be irrational?)

- If f(x)=x2+4, g(x)=x-6, h(x)=sq root of x, then (f o g o h)(x)=arrow_forwardIf f(x)=x2+4, g(x)=x-6, h(x)=sq root of x, then (f o g o h)(x)=arrow_forwardYou are given a plane Π in R3 defined by two vectors, p1 and p2, and a subspace W in R3 spanned by twovectors, w1 and w2. Your task is to project the plane Π onto the subspace W.First, answer the question of what the projection matrix is that projects onto the subspace W and how toapply it to find the desired projection. Second, approach the task in a different way by using the Gram-Schmidtmethod to find an orthonormal basis for subspace W, before then using the resulting basis vectors for theprojection. Last, compare the results obtained from both methodsarrow_forward
